The data, collected by the US Census Bureau and other federal agencies as part of the Household Pulse Survey, shows that 7.2% of adults in and around the Washington state city have felt pressure to move in the last six months because they felt their neighborhood isn’t safe, the Seattle Times said.

That number translates to about 227,000 people out of the 3.1 million who inhabit the city and its suburbs.

In comparison, only 3.4% of New Yorkers considered moving away over similar concerns, according to the study.
